I do have some days I just have come home and sit and close my eyes just so my head can unwind, lol. I make too good of money with too good of benefits to walk away.

My middle sister retired about a year or so ago. She's 63. I was just thinking about this a while ago, me and my siblings are all retired now. Where has the time gone?

I might get squeezed out by the new generations purges of older workers before then. My knowledge is keeping me useful to them for now Going to be tough to make it financially. Wife has serious medical condition that requires insurance plus a boat load of money.

Wife says retire but I can only take so much of it. Moneys nice too. Ran my credit card up 2000 bucks in just a few days. A/C repair, broke the windshield on my jeep, bought some ammo. Can't think of any reason not to earn a little now that winter is over. Put that 2 grand back in the bank. Add a little more to it. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
